Has Edwin left the forum?

Was just reading the following post and noticed Edwins details seem a bit strange, there is no longer a registered user ?

Just searched for him and it says you can't view his profile because he is not registered ?

Looks like he as ran off !

Definitely something dodgy looking there, will have to investigate.

Please all check your email addresses are good in your account and I suggest a change of password.

Time to update vbulletin I guess, using old versions is asking for trouble! Hopefully you have recent back ups and I have changed my details.

 

[Admin]

Does anyone want to take that as a project?

[Ashton]

Take what?

EDIT: You can also do a force password expiry in the admin cp, which might be worth doing.

Take what?

To upgrade AD to the latest, I have the license already. Would need to test all features such as iTrader Rating etc.

Is gaining access to someones CP enough to delete their own profile?

 

[Ashton]

Foz, I had a look and it doesn't seem to be in the user cp... Looks like an admin cp / database only thing.

Hope it gets sorted, Edwins input is always worth reading.

Edwin tweeted that he was having trouble logging in to Acorn about 3 hours ago.

It isn't possible for a user to delete their profile and unregister themselves on vB. This is admin CP only.

More likely a compromise (eg SQL inj) has occurred via the outdated vB software here. I have a lot of exp with vB, happy to help if needed.

Seems that edwin may have been moved to the guests group? I'd check he is in the members group in the Admin CP.

Maybe his subscription to exclusive ran out and it moved him back to the guests group instead of members?

Great idea !

Subs not renewed normally revert to previous member group. Or should do.

If a user is unregistered or deleted via the AdminCP they are put back to a guest status. Which then makes it harder to delete their posts if they have any, rather than use the vB tools to do this.
